TWP 013 : Wedding Suits, All Your Questions Answered

February 17, 2013

Todays topic is Wedding Suits and my guest for the interview is Andrew from Formal Wear Express who not only knows the current trends and everything there is to know about hiring or buying a suit for your wedding, his company services the whole of Australia and are mobile with no store front.

While discussing current wedding suit trends, it seems everything old is becoming new again. Yes, the 'vintage' themed weddings have almost become 'standard' these days but suit styles are a little different. Andrew believes James Bond really is the one responsible for current suit trends - see if you agree after hearing the interview.
In todays podcast episode we cover:

Hire and/or buy options
Suit costs - for both hiring and purchasing
Current weding suit trends for colour, cut and style
Suit choice when your groomsmen are different body sizes and shapes
Which button should and should NOT be done up - ever
Shirt style and whether cuff links can be worn on more than just a French cuffed shirt
Options for when your groomsmen are interstate or overseas and how to get a great fitting suit for the wedding day
What to do if you have a problem with your suit once it's delivered
Should you be dressed the same as your invitation dress code request?
The full windsor knot - do you really need to know how to tie one?
Should the bride be there when the suits are being chosen?

When putting this episode together, Andrew was my first choice as I had already interviewed Elke from Diamond Wedding on the Central Coast for the Impact Images blog. Listening back to my chat with Elke, it was apparent she had a few different ideas and views when it comes to wedding suits.

Instead of making this a double episode on suits or going too long, here is a link to that blog post and audio if you'd like to hear a second point of view on wedding suits.
